Chapter 109 If you have a mental illness, go see a doctor; don't go crazy.
Yu Zhiyi didn't want to pay attention to the two of them, but they didn't want to let her go.
You Bingyue looked disgusted: "Why are you everywhere?"
Yu Zhiyi rolled her eyes: "That's what I wanted to ask too."
He then looked at Du Ziheng and said, "See? What did I say? This woman is good at playing tricks. She says she doesn't care about you and won't interfere in our affairs, but she's always making things difficult for us."
"She's not as selfless as you think; it's all part of her schemes!"
Yu Zhiyi: "...If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor. Don't go crazy in the street."
She didn't even bother to glance at them, and strode quickly toward North Suburb Street.
Beijiao Street is located at the northernmost part of Shengjing and is also known as a slum.
The people living on this street are all in extremely poor conditions.
Although it is within the territory of Shengjing, the people inside may not necessarily live as comfortably and freely as those in the villages outside the city.
After all, the villagers have land, but the people living here have no land to rely on. If they don't have suitable work, they will have no choice but to beg on the streets.
"I understand!"
Du Ziheng hurriedly followed, saying, "Let me explain."
He walked very fast, and was able to keep up with Yu Zhiyi's pace.
Indeed, not all scholars who were able to pass the imperial examinations were weak and bookish.
Upon seeing this, You Bingyue almost ground her teeth to powder.
She stayed at the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion for a few days, and none of those lackeys gave her a kind look.
Out of anger, she punished them severely.
Naturally proud by nature, she wouldn't linger in the Prince's mansion while being looked down upon by the servants, so she left in a huff.
She wanted to tell those lackeys that she and the carefree prince were just good friends, good brothers of the opposite sex, and she didn't care about that damned title of princess at all.
Meeting Du Ziheng was purely accidental.
He hadn't come to see her these past few days, and she'd heard that he'd been getting very close to that gold digger lately, so You Bingyue didn't want to forgive him.
But when she saw him looking dazed and as if he had been bewitched by a vixen, she couldn't help but feel angry.
She is a modern-day queen of assassins, not only skilled in killing but also a master of seduction.
But she was outshone by a gold-digging woman from a feudal society?
She couldn't swallow this insult and wanted to get revenge.
She wanted to explain to Du Ziheng that there was no romantic relationship between her and the Prince of Xiaoyao; they were just good friends who transcended gender.
But before they could say two words, Yu Zhiyi appeared.
With her sticking to him like this, how dare that woman say she had no ulterior motives?!
What a load of rubbish!
"Du Ziheng!" You Bingyue roared angrily.
Du Ziheng subconsciously paused in his steps.
In that brief pause, Yu Zhiyi had already walked away.
She even wanted to applaud You Bingyue.
Go ahead and drag it out as long as you want. No matter where you two go to cultivate your relationship, don't let it interfere with my important business.
As Du Ziheng watched the departing figure, he felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
He turned around, looked at You Bingyue earnestly, and said sincerely, "I have now achieved academic success. When my parents return, I will ask them to let you into the manor. You should go back and wait."
After saying that, he quickly chased after Yu Zhiyi in the direction she had left.
Yu Bingyue: "...!"
"Scumbag! Bitch!"
Watching Du Ziheng's figure recede into the distance, she smiled coldly: "I'm going to personally expose that woman's tricks and show you just how insidious and despicable she is!"
Based on the address provided in the information, Yu Zhiyi quickly found a dilapidated house.
Almost none of the houses on this street have yards. The only ones that do have yards are considered wealthy.
The streets were littered with rotten vegetable leaves, swill, and household garbage. Even people who aren't obsessed with cleanliness wouldn't want to go into the filthy streets.
Yu Zhiyi naturally didn't have a cleanliness obsession. Before, when she secretly walked outside without the Yu family's knowledge, she had seen environments that were even more dilapidated and unbearable than this.
Du Ziheng almost vomited: "Zhiyi, why did you come here?"
Yu Zhiyi was also helpless against this person.
She was clearly fast, but she couldn't shake him off.
No wonder this person represented the imperial court and martial arts practitioners in a tournament in his previous life and even won first place.
"It's a real pity you didn't try to become the top martial arts champion."
Knowing she couldn't get rid of him, Yu Zhiyi stopped trying to drive him away.
After all, time is of the essence, and there's no time to waste on such trivial matters.
"You can come along if you want, but keep your mouth shut and don't ask any questions. When the time comes, you will naturally know what you want to know."
Du Ziheng: "...Alright then."
He was a promising young talent, ranking among the top three in this year's scientific examination, yet he was being looked down upon like this, which made him even more helpless.
Yu Zhiyi didn't want to alert the enemy, but even the alleys on this street had people occupying places as residences, so there was nowhere to hide. She could only walk forward openly.
It's noon now, and apart from those who do hard labor outside and eat lunch to conserve their energy, most poor families don't eat lunch.
People at home usually take a nap to save energy.
So there weren't many people on the street.
Even though Yu Zhiyi and her companion were dressed in casual clothes, their fine silks and satins still exuded luxury, causing several people strolling on the street to stare in disbelief.
For a moment, all the men stared at Yu Zhiyi, and all the women stared at Du Ziheng; no one looked away.
Du Ziheng disliked the way those people looked at him.
He was particularly disgusted by the way those men looked at Yu Zhiyi. He was a man too, and the way they looked at her, as if they wanted to strip her naked, made him feel extremely repulsed.
Yu Zhiyi seemed oblivious, and quickly walked towards a house at the end of the North Suburb Street.
Unlike the bustling places elsewhere, this place was deathly silent.
An old man was sitting at the door picking vegetables, with an ordinary wooden cane beside him.
After picking the vegetables, he planned to go inside to fetch some water.
When he stood up, Du Ziheng realized that although the man had a problem with his legs, he could walk without crutches, though it would be a bit strenuous.
Seeing that Yu Zhiyi was staring at that person, Du Ziheng wanted to ask her a question, but he suddenly remembered her instructions and could only suppress his doubts.
Yu Zhiyi quickened her pace.
According to Zhang's birth chart, he will be killed by a burglar who breaks into his home today!
I used my own kitchen knife.
And now, the time is almost here!
The thug should have already sneaked into the house.
The situation is somewhat urgent, but it is not entirely without benefit.
The saying goes, "Catch the thief red-handed." They caught the thief on the spot, and things went much more smoothly afterwards.
Just as Old Man Zhang was about to push open the door and enter the house, Yu Zhiyi picked up a talisman between two fingers and was about to throw it at him.
Just then, a scream rang out, coming from inside the house.
Not only was Old Man Zhang stunned, but even Yu Zhiyi was surprised.
